Well my high weight before surgery was 407. I am down 145 pounds and still have 112 pounds to go. I would like to be at 150. I am starting to slow way down on the loss. I need to up my protein, water and exercise. Hoping to jump kick the loss again. Good everyone,

Hi Jennifer,
I know its hard not to compare yourself to others but I do the same thing and I am curious just as you are to find out how everyone else is doing. I started at 260 pounds and now weigh 175. Total loss of 85 pounds. It blows my mind to write this. I have about 25 pounds to go. At 150 I will be in a "Normal" range. I hope to be at goal at 9 months out. But I'll take whatever comes. I really need to start toning and working on those problem areas. Congratulations on your weight loss so far. Keep up th good work and Happy New Year!

Wanted to see where lightweights were at this point out? How much lost and how far from goal?
I know we shouldnt compare to others but I just like to get an idea. I am 57lbs down and 45lbs from goal. Sometimes I feel like I am right where I should be and other times I feel like I am behind. Dec I lost 6lbs and in Nov 1lb so I have been feeling a little disappointed. Of course overall I am VERY happy with where I am now from 6 months ago!! I am working hard to lose these 45lbs before my 1 year anniversary!
Topic: RE: Do you cheat as well?
First... I wouldnt consider it "cheating" because you cheat on diets... you are not on a diet you are changing your life! For most... when you are on a diet and you cheat you feel bad and beat yourself up... then you start the same ole cycle of yo-yoing and going on and off different diets.
Now and then I will eat something that may not be the best choice. I think many of us do. As long as you are realizing what you are doing and can keep it under control I dont see a big deal. If there are certain foods that are trigger foods for you I would avoid those. If I come to realize that I am not eating as good as I should I remind myself of why I decided to have surgery and where I came from 6 months ago. I think about how I felt being much heavier than I am now and dont ever want to go back! Sometimes asking myself twice before I eat something makes me think and decide if I *really* want what it is I am going to be eating. Previously I would eat everything and not think much about it so I make the effort now to put more thought into it.
Congrats on you weight loss so far you are doing great!!

Raising my hand and hanging my head! I don't dump in the traditional sense when I eat chocolate. I can eat a little - one or two pieces before it affects me. I allowed myself too many sugary snack over the holidays and didn't feel my best. I'm back on track now. I allow myself a cookie or something. I figure that if you are able to control it and want it, you shouldn't deny yourself. Thin people eat sugar snacks. It's all about portion control. And I'm happy with one bite of something now.
